It was Valentine's Day.

I never knew if I would ever find love. I never did because my luck never gave me the chance to meet the right girl. I often stare out of the window looking down at the streets of my town and asked myself, "When will the girl of my dreams appear?"

But it never did because I never had such luck. It was Valentine's Day and I was staring out of the window as usual, thinking about my true love but she didn't appear before me. I couldn't bear the pain and loneliness of being alone and I hope that I will meet my true love today.

My dad appeared at the door and said, "Hey kid, want to buy some flowers?"

"For whom dad?", I asked with my expressions down.

He sat next to me smiling and looked into my eyes, "Who would that be? It’s for your mother naturally." 

He paused, "And when you meet Akky, please help me to wish her a Happy Valentine’s Day."

I grinned, "Yeah sure." 

I took the money. 

Before I went out, I asked him, "Is there true love in this world?"

"Love is all around kid. And anyway, today is Valentine's Day!" He smiled.

I nodded and went off to the florist. There, I saw many types of flowers like roses, daffodils, etc. I didn't know what to buy for my mother.

"Excuse me sir, your father has selected the flower for you to buy." The owner of the shop said.

"What? Oh okay!" I nodded. I went to the counter and saw red roses lying at the table. I picked it up. 

She took the money and asked, "For whom are you giving the roses?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have anyone whom I can give to. So it's better to give it to my mom." 

She raised her brows, "Oh really? Why not try giving it to some of your friends?"

She was right. As I walked down the streets, I saw many couples who were busy kissing and cuddling, I was getting jealous as I never had anyone whom I can share my love with. I was always so unlucky. Why? But I suddenly remembered what the florist suggested about today being Valentine’s Day and how I should try giving roses to my friends.

So I did and some said:

"Oh sorry, I am committed."

"I think you as a very good friend."

"I am not good at dating."

"I don't like roses."

And blah, blah, blah. There were all sorts of excuses. Only one girl remained and that was my best friend whom I knew since I was a very young. She has always been my good friend and I didn't think that I should give her the rose and in the process spoil our friendship as from the last I heard, she has an unknown boyfriend.

But still, I went to her house. She was alone at home making cup cakes and I asked her, "For whom are you making those cup cakes?"

"For the one I love, who I live for." She said it with a cute adorable smile and looked very beautiful. I couldn't bear to give her the roses. 

"Who have you bought the roses for? Have you found someone?"

"Not really," I blushed. 

"It's for mom." 

"Your mom is out of town for some corporate work. How are you going to give the roses to her?" She said grimly.

Wait a second, I forgot she was out of town but my dad he knew it! In spite of that, he sent me to the florist to buy someone roses. He also told me to meet Akky.

I couldn't stop smiling. He was a clever person. I spotted Akky’s cell phone on the table. I picked it up and went through the inbox. There were no messages in it. Then, I went through the outbox and I saw a message sent by Akky to an unknown number. "Uncle, I have made cupcakes for your son. Can you please tell him to come over here?"

I narrowed my eyes. Somehow, I knew the unknown number but I can't just remember whose it is. I brought up the subject with Akky.

"Who's the lucky guy whom you are making cupcakes for?" I asked her, getting desperate.

"Sorry, I can't tell." She grinned spontaneously.

"Come on Akky... I was your friend from the day you were born. I always showed my support for you and have never left you. I know everything about you and you are not telling me the name of the guy who is in your life?" I said angrily.

She came closer, one step at a time, until she was just next to me. I was only a few inches away from her nose. She smiled and her fair face glowed brightly. 

"Okay I will, but you have to guess his name as you know him personally."

I blushed. She had never been so close to me. I looked sideways so I could avoid her pretty gaze.

"I know him? How? Where did I meet him from? Is it Jack, or maybe is it Harry? You were never close with guys."

I suddenly realized who the phone number belonged to. It was my dad's number. 

"Me?" I asked stupidly.

"Guess so." And she laughed. 

"It is the most magical thing that can ever happen when you know that the person you are looking for is actually right in front of you."

I nodded. I got it. I was the one whom she made the cupcakes for, I was her unknown boyfriend and she had a crush on me on the time. I can't believe it. I can't believe the facts lying in front of me.

"So I was the one? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted you to find it out yourself." I clasped her hands and smiled. 

"Isn't it magical?"

"Everything's magical when you are with me." I smiled and kissed her. I could hear a tune being played in a soft mesmerizing manner in the background and I knew that this is not an unlucky love. This is the love I had always been searching for.
